Thursday, The Desert Sun reported that a big rig carrying salsa had been hit on The 10 – and salsa was all over the freeway. With this happening just days after a chicken truck struck a bee truck, the internet was pretty anxious to tell some salsa jokes:

1st bees & frozen (and cooked) chicken on I-10. Now salsa? Guacamole next? RT @rozmurph: “Doused with condiment” http://t.co/Dj0qrxuIjT — Daniel Simon (@tdsDanSimon) February 5, 2015
Now we got Chicken to go with the Salsa, just need some cheese and avocado http://t.co/JNxburSh3f — Coachella Valley (@AnInsidersGuide) February 5, 2015
Well guess what? All of your totally hilarious salsa jokes were for nothing:
@MyDesert Wire services had incorrect info in an earlier version. The truck was carrying hot sauce & nothing spilled http://t.co/2vTwf8H88G

To sum up:
- There was not any salsa, it was actually hot sauce
- There was not salsa or hot sauce (or any other condiment) on the freeway
Bright side, you can now blame mysterious “wire services” whenever you get something wrong.
